I'm the little matter ofweddings, Shepherds
town is far and away ahead of any town in
tits end OF the valley. She scored another
triumph in this line on Monday evening the
10th inst, in the marriage OF Mr.. Jacob SheeH
to Miss lola Tanner at Trinity Episcopal
Church, of which the bride wasa commune
cant. That the charms ofthe Shepherdstown
Young ladies are not limited by a local repu-
tation, but more nearly approach national
fame, is proven by the fact that an examine
ton of the records reveals the gratifying in
tellgence that scores of gentlemen from all
parts OF this vast country have met their late
right here in the quaint old town upon the
banks Of the Potomac. The bride, niece OF
Dr. l. S. Tanner of this place, is native OF
the Buckeye State, but has resided here long
enough TO have attracted to her large cir
Gle of devoted friends and to have appropria-
ted one of the most worthy and reliable
Young men that Shepherdstown has sent out
for many years. The wedding may be said TO
have been success in every way. The floral
decorations exceeded anything Of the kind
that had ever been seen in Trinity Church;
and the throng that pressed in was fearful.
The neat, trim figure Of the bride was ar
rayed in toilette that was model OF goou
taste and proprety. What could be more be-
coming on such an occasion than dress OF
cream colored camels hair and lace, with
flowing veil and orange blossoms? The
bridesmaid, Miss Lille Mason, is very pretty
girl, and appeared to the best possible advan-
tage In silk mule with pearl ornaments. She
was attended by Mr.. Davis Billmyer, who ac-
quilted himself on this his first experience In
weddings like a veteran. The ushers were
Mr.. Lewis SheetZ, a brother Of the groom
Edward Strobe, Chas. $. Billmyer, and, as
usual upon such occasions, Mr.. John Aglion-
by was on board. 1t goes without saying that
Miss lola will be greatly missed from town
where nice girls are already being thinned
out much too rapidly. The happy young folks
left on the $40 train to visit friends, after
which they will settle in Washington, d. c.
where the groom is conducting very pros
porous business. A.

He il Now Rich.-Rev. DR.. Henry
w. Kuhns, pastor OF the Grace Evan
gelical Lutheran Church at Westmin-
ster, Md. has resigned his pastors ate,
and his resignation has been regretfully
accepted. Over twenty years ago DR. .
Kuhns bought AZ acres of land in Omaha

times since then to sell the property,
and four years ago offered it for 81 900,
with no takers. The real estate boom
in Omaha reached his way, and the land
is now worth from $50 900 to 500, 900.
with the value still increasing. DR..
Kuhns now intends to enjoy the wealth
that has come to him, and will remove
to Omaha, where he will devote himself
to voluntary unpaid missionary work.

Wedding.-Anoth one of Shep-
herdstown's interesting young ladies
has been taken away, making the third
in less than two weeks. The cause OF
this last departure was the wedding OF
Miss lola Tanner, niece Of DR.. |. s..
Tanner, and Mr.. j. S. Sheetz, of WASH
ington, d. c., formerly of this place,
which was solemnized in the Episcopal
Church of Shepherdstown last Monday
evening. The occasion was quite an in
teresting one. The church was most
beautifully adorned with flowers. and
was filled to the doors by the friends of
the contracting parties. The ushers
were Messrs. John o. Aglionby, j..
Louis Sheetz, Edward Strobe and Chas.
S. Billmyer. At the hour appointed the
ushers slowly entered the church, fol-
lowed by the bridesmaid and grooms-
man, Miss Lille Mason and Mr.. j.
Davis Billmyer. Last came the bride,
attired in white, with bridal veil and
orange blossoms, leaning on the arm OF
the groom. Arrived at the altar, Rev.
L. R. Mason pronounced the words that
made them man and wife according to
the form of the Episcopal Church, and
then the bridal party proceeded from
the church in inverse order from that
which they entered. The wedding was
very pretty one, and fully maintained
the high standard which the Shepherds
town ladies have set up for such occa-
sions. The happy couple left at $40 on
the north-bound train for wedding
tour. We wish them long and happy
welded life. The bride received
large number of useful and handsome
presents.

Another Craze.-The latest craze

Another CraZe.-The latest craze
among the ladies is chair album"-
gentlemen's hair. Young men are be-
sought for a lock of hair, and the re-
quest is such iatttering one they are
only too happy to comply when the
right damsels apply. The contribution
is tied with blue ribbon and goes into
the chair album" along with the hair Of
a crowd of other fellows. Over it will
be written the name, age, color of eyes,
date Of receiving the memento, and gen.
eral remarks as to personal appearance,
etc., which may or may not be compli-
menta.y as the album is never to be
seen by any other than feminine eyes.
The young ladies are AS proud of their
trophies as an Indian is of the scalp he
takes. The craze has not yet struck
ShepherGstown ladies, but inasmuch as
it liable to at any day, we would advise
the young men to prepare themselves.
Get the barber to save some of your hair
and have it ready.

The twenty-fifth anniversary Of the
battle of Antietam was celebrated at
Sharpsburg last Saturday with appro-
pirate ceremonies. The principal fea-
ture Of the ceremony was the presence
of one hundred and sixteen veterans of
the Twentieth Regiment, New York
Volunteers, and the locating Of camp
fire upon the battlefield by several
Grand Army posts from the vicinity.
The New York veterans unveiled
handsome granite monument which had
been erected to the memory of the men,
bers of that regiment who fell at An
tietam. The monument stands in the
cemetery, directly in front Of the graves
of the New York dead, and not far from
the monument erected by the national
government. In the afternoon the pro-
cession was formed in the square of the
village and marched to the grounds.
The visitors were escorted by the Grand
Army posts from Harper's Ferry, w.
Va, and Sharpsburg, each organization
being accompanied by band. The
dedcatory exercises were in German,
save one speech, which was delivered
by the commander of the G. A. r. post
of Sharpsburg. The first speech was
by Colonel Joseph Urger. This was
followed by an address from Lieutenant
Roeher and poem by Major Frederick
Hildebrand. The services were con-
cluded with song, in which all the
veterans Joined. The visitors, after
riding over the battlefield, and viewing
the position their regiment occupied
during the battle, visited the camp OF
the G. A. r. posts where they were en-
tertained during the rest Of the after
noon. During their sojourn in camp,
speeches were made by Col. Robert F.
Hill, of Michigan; Col. Rodgers, Of
Illinois; Col. Wooley, of New York;
Col. G. F. w. Vernon, of Baltimore,
and Capt. Graham, of West Virginia.
